Two out of three because bottom 6 is a big need. One of the worst bottom sixes in the league in my opinion. Greenway and Krebs and nobody.
This team doesn't need to win the cup, it needs to make the playoffs. A horrible, horrible record as well as being mismanaged.
Jost, olofsson, skinner, girgenson are not 'nobody' - this is like saying namestnikov is a nobody

Tage Thompson played injured that's the main reason they had a tough year.

They had a tough year because the goaltenders sucked for half a season and some of their forwards regressed from lat year.

Olofsson only knows how to play one side of the red line. People here get on KC for his D, watch Olofsson for awhile.

Which Jost are talking about? the Jost that scored 6 points in 43 games for the Sabres or the Jost that scored 14 points in 25 games in the AHL last season?

I honeslty don't mind Grigs but does 14 points cut it? He's 30 and has hit 30 points once and hasn't hit more than 19 points in the 10 years since.

Skinner is not a bottom 6 player, but since you brought him up, he scored 46 points on a deal that has an AAV of 9m......for 3 more seasons!!!

Skinner has been bumped out of their top six.

Bolstering their 4th line is the least of their needs.

McKeen's latest mock has Emery and Ellick going in the 1st round to VGK and NYR. Badinka available at our pick, but we decide to troll the Habs by taking Lane Hutson's brother with their pick.
I'd trade that pick to the Habs if they want to draft Hutson, since they already drafted Xhekaj's brother, if that got us Justin Barron back...I feel like Reinbacher and MaIlloux are going to push him out sooner than later, and it's been awhile since the Jets had a smooth skating right defenseman around these parts, unless you count Poolman as an above average skater with a below average skillset.

The chances of us picking in the first half of the first have probably increased a bit with the Rutger news - I have 0 idea about who is supposed to go here except for Celebrini + a bunch of defensemen.

IMO there are several teams in the top 15 that would rather trade the pick for a prospect like McGroarty - if they feel he can step in right away.

Born leaders are hard to come by. Born leaders with his talent level are even more rare.

There is also Lindsrom, a big 6.3 center with speed. a Canadian kid projected in the 5-8 range. Usually gets projected as a 70 point 2 way center in the NHL. Might be a perfect fit for us.

Carter Yakemchuk is interesting. Big guy very offensive and defense is weaker. A late birthday. Right handed as well.

Jett Luchanko just because of the name but the guy is a dog out there and a center.

I think he's getting picked in the 2-4 range.
Might be a perfect fit but he's also a pipe dream.

I haven't been following this draft as closely as I usually do due to work and us not having any picks. But I'll start digging in and watching some vids over the next week to see what is out there among the early 1st in hopes we get a pick.

If the Jets could obtain a top 10 pick, Yakemchuk does seem to fill a need for the team. Pair him with a steady defense-first Samberg and that might be a very solid pairing.

Lindstrom would be a nice add too, though that doesn’t seem as possible.

We need grit on this team. I had high hopes for McGroarty so hopefully Chevy and crew can work their magic and find a player in the draft or trade. I like Ehlers but would trade him for a Lowry clone (with more offensive pop) in a heartbeat. Also need 2 more d men who can clear the front of our net. ( would only need 1 if Dillon stays). We have a Vezina goalie, need to get him some help and not have to face so many freaking shots.

Extra year of UFA is worth at least an extra 2nd round pick.

4D chess by Chevy ;)

If we want to get one of the higher end dmen I think we have to be in the top 10. I have a feeling the dman run will end around there.

Something else that might liven it up is actually waiting for it to start haha - but yeah you're right this is super boring :)

Having a pick today would also add some spice. We won't see the podium until tomorrow at this rate.
